Chapter 38 Frost Pear Town (XI) She didn’t want to give Xuanxiu hope. …
Mingyao was scared.
Timid creatures are often very discerning.
Originally, the relationship between her and Xuanxiu was just a thin layer of paper that she forced herself to cover up in the name of friendship.
Now, through the hazy bed curtain, she could sense Xuanxiu's vague and dangerous aura. Only if her brain was stuck in the door would she take the initiative to dispel this shaky excuse.
She had some guesses about Xuanxiu's true appearance. After all, a person who married with the body of his brother's ex-wife in his arms could not be called normal in any way.
But Xuanxiu was still willing to conceal something in front of her, so her best option was to keep the peace temporarily.
Once she has confirmed the matter of Ji Meng and has completely given up on him, it will be more convenient for her to arrange her next plans.
As for what kind of person Xuanxiu is, what kind of feelings he has for her, whether it is a temporary obsession or the first love, it is not very important.
Mingyao gritted his teeth and emphasized it to himself repeatedly before quickly smoothing things over and breaking the weird atmosphere.
"Haha, no need for that. I wouldn't fall for such a crude attempt at discord. You've stood by me through thick and thin time and time again. I have complete trust in you. Seriously, in this world, I trust you the most, Xuanxiu."
Without waiting for Xuanxiu's reply, she turned and left. As for the child lying in Xuanxiu's room... she was now in a precarious situation, unable to protect herself, and there was nothing she could do about it. Xuanxiu wouldn't kill him anyway, so he could just lie down for a while. He was young, and his health was good.
Mingyao quickly ran back to the next room.
The house was empty. Jiali was not there. She must have gone out to buy things she would need in three days.
Mingyao felt a little relieved, but her guilty expression was seen by Jiali, who would inevitably tease and ridicule her again.
She was not in the mood to engage in incoherent conversation with Jiali.
Throw yourself into the soft bedding.
Mingyao let out a breath. The series of accidents made her feel physically and mentally exhausted again.
A small spot on the bedding was quietly wet, and the pressure he had been under was slowly squeezed out of his body along with the tears.
I really want to go home.
After returning home, she no longer had so many worries. Whether it was Xuan Hui who wanted to kill her, the little light ball, the fairy mountain, Ji Meng's demon vein, and... Xuan Xiu, these had nothing to do with her anymore.
She is just an ordinary modern person.
Why was she involved in such a confusing matter? Why was she the one involved?
Mingyao couldn't help but roll over and over on the bed several times, venting her impotent rage. After the emotion subsided, she fell back on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, exhausted and unable to move.
But my mind still can't stop.
Sometimes it was the little light ball's solemn promise, and sometimes it was Xuan Hui's indifference as he slashed at her with a sword, which made her extremely annoyed.
However, the one that appears the most is Xuanxiu.
I've been with him every day these days, and it's hard not to have his image in my mind.
Mingyao rolled up the bed curtain with his fingers, feeling uneasy.
Even though she was afraid that his fear would be known to everyone, he never said it out loud.
The gentle and kind immortal king is so straightforward in trying to please people that it makes people feel soft-hearted.
It was so obvious that he was trying hard to get closer to the person he liked in an attempt to win her favor.
No matter how much Mingyao tried to ignore it, she had to admit that just as she was afraid of him, and her fear was so obvious, Xuanxiu's intention to please her was not difficult to guess.
There was a fleeting thought in my mind whether I should tell him that Chao Qulai had baited me.
After all, Chao Qulai was hoping she would reveal this to Xuanxiu and hadn't forbidden her from doing so. If she wanted to, she could have said it.
But reason stopped her from telling him directly.
Xuanxiu appears gentle on the surface, but is actually a bit stubborn inside. I'm afraid that he will go to find him as Chao Qulai wishes.
At that time, she would be led away by Chao Qulai on a leash.
She had more important things to do. She had no control over what Chao Qulai wanted to do with her to control Xuanxiu. She just wanted to do her own thing first.
So, just be patient.
There is gain in loss.
Even if... she felt uncomfortable in front of Xuanxiu, and was so scared that she couldn't even cry, she had no choice but to endure it.
besides--
Mingyao sighed softly.
She didn't want to give Xuanxiu hope.
She wouldn't fall in love with anyone here.
It would be better to let Xuanxiu misunderstand that she is afraid of him.
Even if... Mingyao pressed her hand to her heart, her eyes flashed by Immortal Miaomiao's smiling eyes, his soft fingertips, and his blood that repeatedly stained her palms red...
Even though, maybe she was in a trance for a moment because of him.
Mingyao bit her lip, forcibly wiping away the palpitations in her heart, repeatedly telling herself that it was just the allure of beauty. Beauty, after all, who wouldn't be moved by it?
It's human nature, it's human nature.
When she was a child, she watched TV dramas and always wanted to marry the most handsome second male lead in them.
Thinking about Xuanxiu's face again, it made sense. It wasn't a trance, it was normal for her to be moved and like him.
Calm down little by little.
Just thinking of Xuanxiu's beauty, Mingyao's thoughts couldn't help but spread out, running farther and farther.
Speaking of which, during these years, she stayed in the fairy mountain. Besides reading books, she was also good at appreciating beauties.
Xuanxiu's usual beauty is as gentle as moonlight, and her smile is like the gentle beauty of a fairy godfather taking a child to magic school.
But very occasionally, his beauty would be tinged with a certain brilliance that could not be ignored, which blended with his gentle temperament and made people unable to take their eyes off him.
The last time I opened my eyes in the coffin counts as one.
But the most unforgettable thing is the meeting on the eve of his death.
"Ah, can you tell the difference between me and my brother?"
"You can't tell the difference."
"If my brother can do it, why can't I?"
When he said this, he put her hand on the red mark at the corner of his eye, pressed it lightly, and the mark turned red. His expression was tense and wanton, with temptation hidden in his innocence.
Those beautiful fox eyes were covered with a layer of mist, making them look particularly easy to bully.
The sound is also very nice, if you breathe...
My thoughts slid into the unfathomable abyss.
Stop, stop, stop.
Mingyao was frightened by himself and stopped the dangerous thoughts in his mind in panic.
Even if it is food, sex and nature, isn't it a bit too much to think about these things at this critical moment?
He refuses to admit that he has some perverted attributes.
Mingyao suddenly stood up and walked to the window, pushing it open hard. The wind rushed in and blew the hair scattered around her ears back.
She finally regained some consciousness.
He cleared the thought of Immortal Lord Miaomiao from his mind, and the heat on his face gradually faded, while worry returned.
Mingyao leaned against the window, looking at the unfamiliar Frost Pear Town, and then looked at the shallow scar on his wrist.
During the past two hundred years, she was unaware of the passage of time in the fairy mountains. But when she came to the mortal world, the feeling of the vicissitudes of life made her hesitate.
Can she really... go back?
She had been pondering over and over again in her mind the matter of Xuan Hui killing her, and now she had some guesses.
If these speculations are confirmed, what should she do?
The confusion in his eyes deepened.
The answer hidden in the small Frost Pear Town made her want to back out for a few moments.
The wind was blowing and the clouds were surging. The mighty wind blew the fallen leaves on the roadside, and they floated away without a trace, and no one knew where they went.
Thousands of miles away.
With a click.
Dead leaves crushed underfoot.
The man in white looked at the empty courtyard, the coldness between his brows could not be suppressed even with a thousand pounds of weight.
Ran away again.
Brother Chao, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and he runs really fast. Even if he keeps fortune-telling, he is always one step behind him.
Although that person didn't blame me when I failed that night, his words were full of probing and warning.
"Xuan Hui Immortal Lord, according to our agreement, Mingyao should now only have one soul left, the Heavenly Soul, for us to command."
"But look at us now. Our bodies are being watched by Miaomiao, and our souls are being held captive by Chaoqulai. We have nothing left."
"Xuan Hui Xianjun, has your sword become so slow?"
"I can't even strip away a mortal soul."
"Or, you just can't bear to do it? If you can't bear it, I can help you."
The man had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
His plan failed, and now he is being harassed by the demon tribe. He has been having a very unhappy life these days.
"No need." Xuan Hui lowered his eyes and gripped the sword in his hand, not flinching at all. "Now that you have regained your freedom, take care of your own affairs."
"I will find Chao Qulai and force him to surrender control of Mingyao's soul. By then... you'd better have used the demon race to deal with Xuanxiu."
"Don't forget, if Mingyao wants it, what we want is simply a fantasy."
Xuan Hui turned and left after he finished speaking, leaving the man in the corner chuckling, but the smile was not visible in his eyes: "Tsk tsk, you are really ruthless, Immortal Lord Xuan Hui."
"But...it's so ruthless that it's reassuring."
Xuan Hui did not hear the whispers and sighs behind him.
In just a few days, he had already failed several times in his pursuit of Chao Qulai. If...
He looked at the latest hexagram, which pointed to the north.
If he fails again, he will have to use some other means to force Chao Qulai to show up.
Reed.
He still remembered that when Chao Qulai left the mountain, he wanted to take her with him.
Xuan Hui walked away.
The crushed dead leaves turned into powder and disappeared without a trace when the wind blew.
Three days passed in a flash.
In a blink of an eye, it was a full moon night.
After spending these few days together, Mingyao strangely became familiar with the real Mingyue.
It wasn't a perfect match at first sight.
But Mingyue's personality is completely different from when she was possessed by the monster.
When Mingyue was possessed by the monster, she was outgoing, cheerful, lively and cute. But after getting rid of the monster, the real Mingyue became timid, introverted and quiet, and seemed to be even more socially anxious than Mingyao.
I was always in a daze. After knowing that I was going to the dense forest, I didn't sleep well the whole night. When I woke up in the morning, there were two lines of shallow bruises under my eyes.
Mingyao has been here for nearly two hundred years and has rarely come into contact with mortals who are as timid and submissive as her. Moreover, the other person is only nineteen years old, so it is inevitable that she has some feelings of taking care of him.
Even though she was feeling a little anxious, she still forced herself to comfort him.
"Mingyue, are you okay? Don't be afraid. With the two Immortal Lords here, we will be fine."
"Thank you, Sister Yao." Mingyue looked at Mingyao gratefully. Since waking up, he had some vague impression of what happened before, but it was not real. He had been at home since he was a child and had never been far away. Now that he was brought out by the monster, he was completely panicked.
Fortunately, Mingyao, who was like his own sister, was there, and he was able to barely find someone of the same kind.
He smiled at Ming Yao, but before he could look away, he bumped into the male immortal again.
I couldn't help but shudder.
This male immortal king looked much kinder than the female immortal king, but for some reason, every time I met his gaze, I always felt a chill, and I didn't know if I had offended him in some way.
Mingyue shrugged timidly.
Mingyao noticed his shrugging and asked, "What's wrong, Mingyue? Are you a little cold? Do you want to put on a coat?"
"No need, Sister Yao." Mingyue looked at the male immortal and even the smile on his face faded a little, and he stammered in refusal.
Perhaps it was because he was too useless as a man that this male immortal looked down upon him.
Mingyue thought and straightened her back: "Sister Yao, I'm not afraid."
Mingyao looked at the young man in front of him, his voice trembling as he straightened his back, standing in the wind, as if he would fall down with a slight push.
I can relate to that.
It was the same when she first came into this world. She could only encourage herself to be strong, but she was weak inside and others could see it at a glance.
"It's okay, it's okay to be afraid." Mingyao seemed to see himself back then, and couldn't help but whisper comfortingly, as if comforting his former self, "Everyone is afraid, it's already very powerful."
At the age of nineteen, in modern times, one would just be a sophomore in college, an age when one is still in the ivory tower and has not been devastated.
In today's world of cultivating immortals, his age seems even younger.
The conversation between the two mortals was heard clearly by the two immortals behind them.
"Tsk tsk, isn't it said that people's hearts are fickle?" Jia Li said sarcastically, unable to help but sneer, "She's been in Xianshan for so long, and she's tired of being surrounded by a bunch of old immortals."
"After going down the mountain, if you meet someone younger, you have to be more interested."
"You mean, right? This unknown immortal who likes to seduce married women?"
"I wonder how old you are now?"
Miaomiao Immortal Lord, who has lived for hundreds of years, glanced at the awkward appearance of the young man in front of him.
Nineteen years old.
There are especially many nineteen-year-old boys in this world, and he cannot kill them all.
He lowered his gaze, and the inner demon gave rise to a new desire in a place where no one was around.
Is there any way to make her eyes only focus on him?
The paranoia hidden in the dark of Immortal Lord Miaomiao was ignited at this moment, just like an inextinguishable wildfire.
